Instructables user RVogel took the basic tape-the-lens-in-place design to the next level and decreased the cost by using a disposable camera lens and incorporating a wire brace so you can easily attach, detach, and position the lens. His build is simple but does require more effort than simply using painters' tape to secure it like we did. You'll need wire cutters, shrink wrap tubing, wire, and of course a disposable camera—he suggests stopping by your local one-hour photo lab and seeing if you can score a used camera body with lens for free.
